Thanks for the profundity.  Obviously, I was looking for the price per kilogram.

Should of asked then

NORBEST......6 TO 8 KG 475 Baht/kilo

 

To put this in context, when Makro used to stock Norbest and Butterball frozen turkeys they charged around 160-170 Baht/kg. A standard 6 kg bird was around 1000 Baht. The Central Food Hall and other places around town that used to stock them charged more, up to 250 Baht/kg. Now the price is apparently 475 Baht/kg, so a 6 kg bird will set you back 2850 Baht, or over sixty quid at today's exchange rate. I was back in the UK last month and my local Tesco had frozen turkeys around the 6kg mark on sale for £19, so it seems you'll pay an eye-watering 200%+ mark-up to get a turkey in Pattaya this year.

 

Still, at least it seems you can get it if you're willing to pay for it.

Yes, that's what Pattaya is all about. I hear you can also get turkeys too.

Didn't I read a few years ago that the falang fellow who had the big turkey farm up country was pushed off his land, or had it confiscated or something like that?  But I don't know if he supplied the frozen market also or if his place stayed in business.

It's turkey time, November 2017.  Rimping (Kat Frang) has some small frozen turkeys, Norbest brand.

 

600 baht per kilogram!!!!!  300% mark-up from USA origin.

I saw an advert in Rimping (on the Ping River ) Thursday, here in CNX saying it was "Time To Order Turkeys."

 

Wife was in a hurry so didn't follow up on it.
